If Selanne retires that makes some room. They'll keep all three for sure.Getzlaf is the big center every team wants though. Scoring wingers are much more common. I say they won't resign selanne and keep Getz, Perry and Ryan.
If they're not signed by trade deadline they will be rentals. There is NO way they risk them walking away with no return after season

I think none of them will end up going anywhere the pricetag will be ridiculous for a rental

Agreed. I think all 3 will stay, and at the very least, Ryan can always be traded to free up even more cap space. All depends on how cheap the owner is.

Que the every UFA to TO rumors that come up every year.

Or Montreal

I would stab myself in the balls with rusty scissors if i was an Islander fan

Cali need not 3 teams anyways

ALl I know is that Van should have kadri and frattin on the team. I still can't believe that deal was turned down by Gillis. A third line with lap kadri and frattin would be awesome and exactly what our team would need. Its just unreal how greedy Gillis was asking for the 1st when he knew that would never happen after the Kessel fiasco. The best case scenario for Van is the capitals and getting Johannsen back in a deal.

It's just not a rumor if the flyers aren't involved.

They're all elite teams this year

Good for them.
San Jose fans are legit. The rest, not so much

LA has the most fair-weather fans I've ever seen. Some true diehards, but so many clueless re-t@rds who don't know what an icing is.

Getzlaf wants to stay in anaheim. He has a great home where I grew up with a wife and two new kids. He would take a "paycut" of sorts to stay here. Perry on the other hand is more likely to walk. Anyway, the ducks need centers. There is no one else that could fill the 1c if he were to leave. Although perry is an amazing first liner, he is easier to replace than getzlaf.

Not as far as I've seen. Yeah we have some, but what fan base doesn't?

Toronto.... Montreal.... Ottawa...

How can you prove that? You can't. That's an assumption at best.

A trade sometime this decade would be nice. Also will Wang announce he is selling next week? Fingers crossed

No, I meant according to those fanbases, they are all diehards. Even Minny to a certain extent and we have one of the more quiet arenas in the league.

But we don't need any of them. (And the word is cue)

Selanne could replace Perry next year if Perry walked. Getz is definatley irreplacable. Anaheim can't be that broke they signed Souray which was a huge gamble

It's all Boinker's fault -- "Kadri is a bust, we want more."

Right. Misunderstanding. When I said "we have some" I didn't mean diehards. I meant idiots who don't know what's going on. LA fans have been loyal for a really long time. Of course with us winning the cup all sorts of people hop on the wagon. But the fans who have been waiting 45 years to see us win are what are fanbase is. Nothing against San Jose or Anaheim. But LA being a bandwagon city is a common misconception.

Lived in San Diego from 2000-2004 and caught many Kings games... just my observation. May have been a little too critical in my original statement. Not saying LA should move or anything
